Rask ties Bruins' career wins record in 5-2 victory over Blues (1/18/19)BOSTON -- Tuukka Rask always tries to focus on the next win. This time, he made an exception.

Southeast Missouri State men's basketball product Antonius Cleveland finds landing spot with G-League's Santa Cruz (1/11/19)FRISCO, Texas -- When Antonius Cleveland was tasked with summing up his initial season in professional basketball, the Southeast Missouri State product delivered one encompassing descriptor -- eventful.

Blues rookie goalie wins second straight start (1/11/19)ST. LOUIS -- Jordan Binnington has played in 204 minor league games, plenty of time to wonder if he'd ever make an NHL start.

Chiefs' Mahomes prepared for playoff debut against Colts (1/8/19)KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs didn't draft Patrick Mahomes merely to make the playoffs. Matt Cassel accomplished that, and quarterbacks Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac, Trent Green and Alex Smith went one better by making it to the divisional round. Smith even won a wild-card game, the first playoff victory by the long-suffering Chiefs since Joe Montana led them to the AFC title game in the 1993 season... -

Cardinals beef up bullpen, sign Miller to two-year deal (12/22/18)ST. LOUIS -- When healthy, Andrew Miller has been one of baseball's top relievers. The St. Louis Cardinals are banking on a return to form. Miller agreed to terms on a two-year deal with St. Louis, with a vesting option for 2021. The 6-foot-7 left-hander has been dominant for much of this decade, but he went just 2-4 with a 4.24 ERA in 37 games with Cleveland last season while dealing with hamstring, knee and shoulder issues...
